Compared to Ukrainian cities being reduced to rubble, civilians being tortured and indiscriminately killed, children being stolen and moved to Russia and tens of thousands of Russian conscripts being sent to die for Putin, the financial hardships of some Russians in St Petersburg are so trivial they’re not worth mentioning.Last time I was there our guide was putting her daughter through university with the money she was making especially the tips. Also the “few” is actually thousands per day in the holiday season.

Tongue in cheek or not, poor tasteIf they're shelling Catholic churches then I suppose they can't be all bad.
You monster.Let them eat borscht.
I'm endlessly fascinated by how unhinged parts of the Russian public debate are, and how pundits keep changing their tune about what the facts on the ground are, what Russia's objectives are, and how they should be achieved.
Threats of nuclear war now seem to have gone out of fashion along with daydreams about how western Europeans will freeze and go broke without Russian gas. Now they're advocating for the systematic destruction of civilian Ukrainian infrastructure so that children and the elderly will freeze and starve to death, and they hallucinate that this will cause an uprising against Zelensky and force him to capitulate. And they don't seem particularly bothered that they're admitting Russian war crimes either. Bonkers.
